New PS5 Controller: DualSense

Chris Berrow and Leigh Milner discuss the pros and cons of the new PS5 controller. With an important contribution from Alex Rhodes... 

Leigh - Controller news. PlayStation have revealed their new controller for the PS5 it's called DualSense. So the difference between PlayStation and Xbox controller, when you look at them the Xbox controller is fatter basically, isn't it? 

If we look at the new DualSense, how similar does that look to the Xbox controller? Basically you need a bigger hand to play with this, and I like the PS controller because it's quite small. It fits in your hand.

Chris - The triangle, x, circle, square buttons don't have colors on as well. In the new prototype, they're just white buttons. Look, these are some of the things it has. It has two tone color design, light bar placement, so means it's got a light bar. A built in microphone compared to having to stick one on. That's the only good thing, but they did an hour long presentation to reveal it. An hour. That's too long to reveal a controller. 

We've got our King of controllers, Alex Rhodes to give us a real in depth review.

Alex - Yeah, it looks all right.

Chris - Thanks so much for that, Alex. You took a lot of time to do that. We'll see if the release date of the PlayStation 5 is going to be delayed because of coronavirus as well. It's quite likely given the current climate, so it could be a couple of years before we get our hands on the real deal here.
